Create a user attribute definition

User attribute definitions allow you to associate unique capabilities or qualities with one or more users. You can then use the defined attributes when you create participant groups based on a user attribute rule. See Defining Participant Group rules for more information.

To create a user attribute definition:

  1. In the Designer view, click the plus sign next to Data and select User Attribute Definition from the list of components.
  2. In the New User Attribute Definition dialog, provide a unique name for the attribute, and click Finish.
  3. Supply requested information about the user attribute definition, including:

    Dialog area Field or link Description
    Common Name Name you provided in step 2.
      Documentation Optionally provide a description of the attribute in this field.
    Type Variable type The default variable type is String. If you want a different type, click Select to choose the type you want. Click New if you want to define a new variable type.
    Obtain current value from... Source The source is Lombardi.
    Obtain possible values from... Source Click the drop-down list to choose the source for the possible values of the user attribute. You can choose Any Allowed or List. The choice you make determines the information required.
      If you select Any Allowed... This means that the possible values for the attribute are limited only by its variable type.
      If you select List... Enter each possible value in the Value field and click Add. You can remove values from the list by clicking Remove or change the order of the values that will be displayed by using the Up and Down buttons.

  4. Click the Save icon in the main toolbar.

    Lombardi Authoring Environment saves the user attribute definition, which allows you to use the attribute when creating participant groups.
